A short video of me running my Korg Kaossilator into both a toy I turned into a visualizer and an amp I built. Both of those have been seen here previously.
Project: Little Tikes Keyboard
I actually did this one maybe 2 years ago but never finished it. And recently as I was dabbling in some other projects, I got the camera and mount out and recorded a video of it. I don’t think I had done that with it previously.
It’s still unfinished but in it’s current state it’s still useful and fun. Plans to come involve at least 1 oscillator, an on board bent amp, and possibly some kind of LP/HP filter. Depends on my mood and what’s on hand and if I have time. It certainly has room inside for more stuff, it’s quite spacious in there.
jacobmonclahappenings reblogged your audio post: Project: Circuit Bent VTech Alphabet Desk. I…
dl link?? I want to add to this(backing drums bass etc)
Here’s a MP3 dump of the sound I posted. I have more I can send you, feel free to hack, slash, etc to your hearts content!

Enjoy, I’d love to hear what you did with it when you’ve got something, so please gimme a hollar so I can have a listen :D
Project: LightBug (Alpha Prototype)
Intended for use for lightbombing/lightpainting using LightBomber for iOS, this little light bug is designed to be straight forward and simple. The idea for the more final pieces is to have a magnet or clip so that it can be easily attached to something such as a fan, car, string, etc to be spun, moved etc.
This very early version is simply a LED with battery, a power toggle, and is heatshrunk together. If I incorporate a clip or magnet it will most likely be inside of the shinktube or regular tubing if that is how I end up going.
The LED was sanded lightly to diffuse it more. I’d also like to add a resistor to reduce the light and therefor the energy used so the batteries last longer. I am not sure how long this one will go, but to replace the battery I wil have to destroy it.
My goal is to put everything inside of something I can get at the battery to replace it later, include a powerful rare earth magnet so it can stick to many things, or a clip so it can be attached easily to moving objects.
It’s very simple but it does the trick. I am also working on a light pen that can be easily held to write more detailed like you would on paper, but instead using light.
Bored on a Saturday night, I recorded a wee video of me playing with one of the gadgets I made a year or 2 back.
I have a sinus infection so I sound a bit nasal. Sorry if it’s boring. I was bored and am passing that boredom to you. :D
willitbend.com now redirecting here :D
As well as www.willitbend.com. I feel special. I only got the WIB domain 2 years ago and it took me this long to point it here. I am lazy.
Korg Monotribe.
I want and need one of these so bad I can’t hardly stand it.
In the meantime, I have ruined 2 Monotrons trying to find and make bends on them and a third that oneof the pots is dead due to a um… crossed wire while playing. I wont bend the Monotribe. Dont wanna risk breaking it, it’s too expensive.
MIT Media Lab’s cassette tape-sized instrument is a new way to create and share music
The High-Low Tech group at MIT’s legendary Media Lab specializes in integrating simple and complex technologies, enabling a more universal ability to create useful items. By stripping down all the nonessential parts of a simple synthesizer, High-Low Tech’s Jie Qi whittled the instrument down to its most basic parts. The end product is the size and shape of a cassette tape.
Watch the Video:
I must have one of these!
